Description
Introduced in 3059, Clan Star Adder developed the Heavy Lasers as a way of packing more punch into a relatively small package. All Heavy Lasers, however, build up a tremendous amount of heat, have a subtle firing delay and potentially interfere with a 'Mech's sensors meaning the weapon suffers from poor accuracy.[4][5]
